Limassol
Castle is where King Richard the Lionheart got married. Now
the Crusader structure serves as a Medieval museum. Top, left:
Paul's friend Chris stands at the entrance to the castle. Check
out the battlements on either side of him! Top, left: From the
top of the castle, Paul and Chris could spy the little restaurant
where they had dined on Cypriot Meze the night before. Below:
Exterior of Limassol Castle, which now has paved roads surrounding
it.

Kolossi,
Cyprus

Another
Crusader castle, Kolossi Castle remains quite intact and is
surrounded by a very well-kept garden.

Kourion
and The Sanctuary of Apollo, Cyprus

Left:
Paul in front of the temple at the Sanctuary of Apollo. Top: The
monuments of Kourion, the awe-inspiring Mediterranean Sea glistening
in the background. Upper right: Ever wonder what a gladiator really
looked like? Dating from the end of the 3rd century A.D., this
remaining piece of mosaic floor speaks volumes. Below: Chris stands
before the Mediterranean on the steps of the Roman theatre near
the House of Eustolios.

Pafos
and Aphrodite's Birthplace, Cyprus

Top,
left: Chris in one of the Tombs of the Kings at Pafos. Bottom,
left: Paul and the sign so he can know where he is.
Right: Behind Chris is the mythical Aphrodite's Birthplace,
a sight worth seeing.

Larnaka,
Cyprus

The
legend goes like this: When Paul and Barnabas traveled to
spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they came to Cyprus and
discovered that a group of believers were already there. The
group's leader was Lazarus, the very same man that Jesus had
once raised from the dead in Israel, who had fled the persecution
of the Jewish leaders. Paul and Barnabas appointed Lazarus
a bishop before departing and Lazarus lived the rest of his
days teaching on Cyprus. The Byzantine Church of St. Lazarus
is by far the highlight of Larnaka (the highlight is not the
FAKE Hard Rock Cafe that resides there). Top, left: The interior
of the cathedral. Top, right: Paul outside the church. Bottom,
left: Underneath the altar is the entrance to the tomb of
St. Lazarus (yes, he stayed put in this one). Bottom, right:
paul in Lazarus' tomb. It's mind-boggling when you think about
it.
